I have an older large Century 3/4 hp (or is it 1-3/4 hp? not sure) mounted on an old Craftsman 18" vert. bandsaw which is currently running on 120v. I'd like to convert it to run on 230v but have not been able to find any info on this motor (pic of data plate below) Also the wiring cover is missing...not sure if it would have had a wiring diagram or not but it's gone anyway. There are 4 wires leaving the motor housing. At the on/off switch (pic attached) there is a white and a black wire attached from motor to switch and a white and black wire that heads out to the wall plug. Tomorrow I will pull the electrical tape off the 4 wire connections at the motor and post a pic of the way things are connected. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can get this motor to run on 230v?
thanks.
thanks.
